Handle it with care — use gloves, a towel, etc. to insulate your fingers when handling the dry ice.

If you must transport dry ice in your car, either open the windows or set the air conditioner to “fresh” outside air rather than “recirculate.” Carbon dioxide build-up can be hazardous in a closed space.

Keep children at a safe distance from dry ice at all times!

Safe Disposal of Dry Ice

Do not dispose of dry ice in a sewer, sink, toilet, garbage disposal, garbage chute, etc.

Allow leftover dry ice to evaporate (turn into a gas) in a well-ventilated area where no buildup of carbon dioxide vapor can occur.
